Aquaterra Spa, reopening in Spring 2025, offers treatments like the Sweet Orange coconut sugar scrub and Blueberry Smoothie brightening facial. Yoga classes and wellness experiences are available.
Laguna Beach Location
The resort is on Laguna Beach's coastline, 30 km from John Wayne Airport and 20 km from San Clemente Pier Metrolink. Nearby landmarks include Brooks Street Beach (0.5 km), Heisler Park (2 km), and Laguna Art Museum (2 km). The area is known for its art galleries and coastal trails.
Events & Weddings
The resort has 20,000 sq. ft. of event space, including the Laguna Ballroom and Catalina Terrace for weddings. Catering includes custom menus with seasonal ingredients. Services include valet parking (limited due to beach location), audio/visual equipment, and rehearsal dinner coordination. Wedding packages feature oceanfront ceremonies and champagne toasts.
“With its prime beachfront location in Laguna Beach, the hotel excels as a destination for both romantic getaways and family vacations. I'm particularly drawn to the personalized concierge service, which promises curated local experiences, alongside the hotel's award-winning restaurant; however, some past experiences at the restaurant appear to have been inconsistent. Overall, it presents an idyllic setting for anyone seeking a luxury coastal escape.”
